Action report 2016 & three new board members

Thank you all who attended the spring meeting/social and spent a lovely evening with us!

The outcome of the spring meeting was that the board members of 2016 were (as expected) released from their duties and responsibilities. If you missed out on what the association did last year you can catch up by glancing over the action report (in English!).

There were also some changes in the board and we got to welcome a few new people into it: Jack Beresford from biosciences at the Viikki campus, and Brecht Donvil and Giovanni Canarecci from natural sciences at the Kumpula campus. Take a look at their introductions on the blog, under Board 2017. Brecht stepped in as the board’s new secretary as Fanny, who is busy working at the moment, will stay on the board as an officer. In the end of April we’ll also have to say goodbye to our membership coordinator Mari who will leave for fieldwork and continue as an officer and our Mongolian correspondent.

Welcome to the spring meeting 28th March

You are all warmly welcome to the association’s spring meeting that will be held 28th March at 17.30 in the meeting room Seppele in Domus Gaudium, Leppäsuontie 11, 1st floor.

At the meeting we will go through the action report of last year and the auditors report, and formally grant last year’s board freedom of responsibility.

In addition, we are looking for a couple of new board members. At the autumn meeting last year we changed the bylaws, so that the board from the beginning of this year can have up to 13 members. Currently we are 10 board members (and two officers), which means that there is room for three more board members. Another “lighter” way to participate is to come along as an officer. As officer you don’t have the right to vote at meetings, but otherwise you are as much one of the team as anyone and can participate in all the things you want to participate in.

The board meets about once a month. At the meetings we focus on being effective and making decisions and in between we get things done in smaller working groups. We welcome any new initiatives and ideas, so if you have thoughts about what the association could or should do – come share them with us!

Last but not least, our working language is English, so you don’t need to worry about not knowing Finnish :)

In short, we encourage anyone at all interested in participating in the board to come to the meeting to find out more. In case you are interested in becoming a board member, but cannot attend the meeting, please let the chair know in advance!
